The Pietzmoor is located on the southern edge of the Lüneburg Heath nature reserve near Schneverdingen and today still covers an area of around 2.5 km².
The formation of the raised bog was favored by the hollow location and by water-impermeable clay layers in the subsoil. Profile investigations carried out in 1975 showed that the maximum peat thickness is 7.50 meters.
If one assumes an annual growth of the peat-forming sphagnum (peat mosses) of around 1 millimeter, then the age of the Pietzmoor is almost 8,000 years.
